The Jayhawks

(In My) Wildest Dreams

The Jayhawks


When you had a brief encounter with your fortune and your fame 
Well, I stood beside and watched the fans that followed 
I saw you from a distance 
And I heard them call your name 
But you winked at me as if to say, I'm sorry 
Yeah, you winked at me as if to say, I'm sorry 

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams 

The more I get to know you, the less that I admire 
I fade as the unholy light surrounds you 
Well, I'm mystified you got so high 
You had so far to fall 
What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow 
What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow 

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams 

I never felt this close to you, I never will again 
As you gaze at me from on your ivory tower 
You're pretending to be happy 
You're pretending to be free 
As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours 
As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours 

In my wildest dreams ...
